TELL US: How Do You Describe Salem to An Out-of-Towner?

We get lots of questions from curious visitors. How do you handle them?

Halloween will be here before we know it, and there are already lots of tourists visiting our city.

We're often fielding lots of questions about the city — "What's Salem like?" "What's it like to live there?" — and we're interested to know how you describe Salem to people who don't live here.

Is there no other place like the Witch City, or do you feel we're just a typical New England ciy? How do you describe Salem to people who don't live here?

Let us know what you think in the comments.

Remember to keep it clean. If you violate our terms of use (check it out here) your comment will be deleted and your account may be suspended. If you have the urge to use profanity, an asterisk "*" will not suffice. Please find another way to make your point so we can keep the forum a place where all are comfortable sharing and conversing about the city.
